There's room for the E305 plate, which is on its way courtesy of the ever bytchin' GameKing28. There's also a spot for the IdolM@ster Girls plate. And, there are two spots (one is occupied by Saints Row) that will hold some combination of Call of Duty 2, GRAW and GRAW 2. They're all three horizontal so I'll probably have to move something else around. The Stranglehold and Tropicana Twister will probably end up somewhere else, too. I THINK I have a generic "Combat" plate and one of those odd "Quake" plates coming from Australia if they're not backordered, plus there's a TMNT plate in the works between tinytoonsbuster and me. I have some other plates coming from Elite-Concepts, too. Those include at least a regular Quake plate and I honestly don't remember what else.

The last pic is my overflow wall. I just stuck some pegs up there so I had a place to get faceplates off my counters. This wall consists of unfinished/abandoned plates, finished plates not paid for, finished plates paid for but not shipped, and some of my own plates that I haven't worked into the rest of the collection or that I'm taking to Seattle/LA for gifts/autographs.

Ultimately, I hope to have display cases like TomDeaf has, but I don't see that happening anytime in the near future.

that is quite the collection you have there, you should try to take a picture so we can see all your faceplate's in one pic (if it is possible).

what is the yellow w/blue rings faceplate? it is by the saints row faceplate.

Those are just spots I'm saving for plates I want. It doesn't necessarily mean that the plates are on the way.

I got the Rainbow 2 plate from a UK seller who shipped to the US. I think I might have another one coming that I had shipped to Elite. I can't remember what he's got there for me.

The blue and yellow rings plate was a gift from moltenluv. It's listed on tacohead's site as a common asian plate but I don't see them very often. I also didn't know there was a wood plate to go with the water puzzle and sun plates.

Thank you. :)

Yeah, and it was a blessing and a curse, because we've spent over a thousand dollars buying crystals for plates. I bought that plate from crystalninja, and my mom saw that she was selling a bag of assorted crystals so she bought them. Now she's hooked. My mom has always liked doing crafty things, but not simple stuff. When I was a kid, she did stained glass. Everybody else was doing tie-dyed t-shirts, she did batiking (same idea but with wax and a lot harder). She did macarme, crochet, lots of sewing, plants everywhere, tropical fish. We were in a tropical fish "club" I guess. We had a 100 gallon tank and at one point we had 28 fish tanks in the house. She'd decorate the tanks and we'd enter them in fairs. And she did hippie beads. Now she's doing Swarovski's and loving every minute of it. She's also got bonzai stuff all over the house, has this ridiculously awesome blown glass and millefiofi paperweight collection, and Spode and Lenox stuff all over the place.

Yeah I bought one and the power button was loose so I found another one and bought it and that button was loose as well. I sent them both to Spacey for some TLC and told him to keep one of them. I saw a few other faceplates that I sent to you hanging up here and there :hardcore:

Ummm no not quite. I have been at work from 4:30 am - 4 pm M-F and from 4:30 am - 8:30 am on Saturdays. Then on Saturdays I do all my errands and stuff I couldn't do during the week because I was at work. Then on Sundays I sleep in, play a little something on my 360 and before you know it it is time for me to go to bed because I have to get up at 3 am to start getting ready for work. Most days I come home and sit down on the sofa for a little and then go to bed. I have been very exausted lately.

I have one plate coming from eBay (it's a secret), one plate coming from Garrick (mypainteffects, also a secret), one coming from tinytoonsbuster (TMNT - but I owe him a couple of plates first), one coming from GameKing28 (E305) and a number of plates coming from Elite-Concepts (not sure what all is still coming, but I think it's ones like Quake IV, Call of Duty 2, and maybe Full Auto.... I can't remember them all). I ordered two plates from an Australian website, the HTF Quake IV and a generic one called "Combat", but they're both backordered - apparently indefinitely. I was told by someone else that they were launch plates and are probably permanently out of stock.

I have listed two of my duplicates on eBay that will close three days from now. Those plates are the Argyle Pelican plate and the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 plate. I still need a GRAW 1 plate (I think that might be one of the plates coming from E-C). I also have an Eternal Sonata - Chopin plate that is the hardest one of the five to get - if anyone needs one for their collection.

That console was a gift to members of the design team. It has a standard 20 GB HDD, but the HDD and the grilles on either end of the console are green. It also comes with a green insert as part of the controller. It came with the plate installed on it, and not in the package. I assume that the "I Made This" faceplates in the packages were offered to design team members a little further down the ladder.

I rearranged the plates in my room to accomodate some new plates, plus I made room for some future additions to the collection (hopefully). There are a number coming - eventually - from GameKing28 (E305), Elite-Concepts (Quake, CoD2, and others) and tinytoonsbuster (TMNT). Those will fill in a lot of those holes.

Hahaha too late I just did! To be honest with ya all the Postal System seems to not be the greatest lately. I dunno what is going on but everything seems to be taking a little longer than usual and there seem to be a lot of packages gone missing. In the past week we have had like 5 or 6 people come into the office I work at reporting problems. Its really weird. There have been more claims filed in the past week than in the entire year and a half I have been there. My suggestion is if you are having something shipped to you always get delivery confirmation so you can have some way of tracking it and if it is really that valuable to you insure it. I am not saying that to try to get you to pump more money into the Postal System I am saying it because I care and love each and every one of you :cheers:

I dunno what is going on but everything seems to be taking a little longer than usual and there seem to be a lot of packages gone missing. In the past week we have had like 5 or 6 people come into the office I work at reporting problems. Its really weird. There have been more claims filed in the past week than in the entire year and a half I have been there. My suggestion is if you are having something shipped to you always get delivery confirmation so you can have some way of tracking it and if it is really that valuable to you insure it. I am not saying that to try to get you to pump more money into the Postal System I am saying it because I care and love each and every one of you :cheers:

awwww how sweet, lol

i think you need to transfer to the office near my house cause there service at times sucks.... and you will be close to a beach down here in sunny Florida

I actually joked around with my Postmaster a while back that I was going to transfer to Florida. He said it may sound like a good idea but I would regret it. He said that if I think PA is bad the Postal System in Florida is way worse. If I was going to move I would wanna move outta the country anyway. Some place pretty and tropical :hardcore:

I'm afraid to ask how much you paid for that launch one. I'd probably faint.

Actually, it was a heck of a deal.

$500, but that's for a green launch console, green launch HDD, controller with green insert, and the "I Made This" faceplate. So, it's only $150 more than just buying a Premium console ($100 more than what the consoles cost at launch) and I got all the special stuff.

So jealous. I paid a grand for mine and didn't even get the green contorller. I think I got the faceplate though... I honestly can't remember. Around this time last year I had 3 "I Made This" faceplates - 2 of them sealed. If I knew then what the future held for the faceplate collecting community... :bang:

I can't sell a faceplate this week to save my life. It seems like I've been doing everything BUT faceplates. Tomorrow I am going to see my daughter sing and play her viola. I need to get up early and like work on faceplates for eight hours or something.

I have three Toy Story plates in the works
Two Unseen
One Speedball
One Boba Fett
One Spawn
One Ninja Gaiden II
Three Gears clan plates

And before Monday, I need to have these plates done:

2 Fable 2
The aforementioned Ninja Gaiden II
2 Gears of War 2
2 Too Human
1 KOTOR plate
And hopefully two other plates I can't mention.

I also need to get a Speed Racer plate and two Ironman plates done, ASAP.

As someone who doesn't collect faceplates can you explain the appeal to collect them ? I find the artwork fascinating. Also do you hope the next Xbox will use the faceplates you currently have ? I was curious because I didn't know there was such a passion for it.

We actually had a discussion about this in another thread... I can't for the life of me remember which one though.
I think it's all but a certainty that the successor to the 360 will have some kind of customization aspect included, but I think it unlikely the faceplates of this generation will make the cut.

As for the appeal, it's like collecting anything - there are rare faceplates that are difficult (if not impossible) to find. Some (like anything you find in the Customizers Corner) are certifiable works of pop art. Some are available everywhere but just look really cool. Everyone has their own reason for collecting. :)

Just sent you a PM. I swear I look for ways to throw money at you. :cheers:
Also, If you feel like making another Ninja Gaiden II faceplate while you're making the first one I'll certainly take it. ;)

We find the artwork fascinating too, which is the main point of appeal to most of us.

I can guarantee that these plate won't work on the next Xbox.

It's like collecting action figures or Pez dispensers or what have you. I know people who collect everything they can get their hand on that says Campbell's Soup, Coca Cola or Pepsi Cola. The prices on faceplates has taken a tremendous jump in the past year, and I think that people embracing custom plates, and an increase in Xbox ownership has had the most to do with that. Plus, if there's 200 plates and a thousand collectors, that price is going to double once there are two thousand collectors.

Let me try to get one done, first. I need to have one to take to the Spring Showcase because I'm hoping Itagaki-san will be there. I've probably cut fifty stickers to try and get enough bits and pieces to make ONE plate. The lines are just too thin to cut.

No worries. I figured if it was something quick and easy I'd just ask you make another one. If it's really a pain I can live without it.
